Located right near the dock, this hotel is a bit off the beaten path with limited dining options nearby, but it's still conveniently within the city center. Getting around by taxi is super easy—just a short ride to most attractions. What made our stay extra special was catching a Chinese senior tour group during our visit; the lobby was buzzing with energy and lively chatter, adding a unique cultural vibe. Despite the quiet surroundings, the hotel offers excellent service, modern amenities, and great value for money. If you're looking for convenience, comfort, and a touch of local charm, this place is definitely worth considering.

The hotel is incredibly convenient, just a 2-3 minute walk from the bus station—perfect for travelers arriving by land transport. The room was much larger than expected, with plenty of space and a spacious bathroom that felt very luxurious. The rooftop terrace is a real highlight, offering panoramic views of the city, especially stunning at sunset. It’s a great spot to relax with a drink or enjoy some quiet time. Clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed, this place delivers excellent value. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Rio.

Staying at Ibis Rio Porto Atlantico was a fantastic choice, especially given its close proximity to GIG Rio de Janeiro International Airport. Located in a well-planned new district, the area boasts wide, clean streets and a notably safer atmosphere compared to other parts of the city. Public transport is convenient—taking trams 1 and 4 to connect with the metro makes it easy to reach major tourist attractions without hassle. What really stood out was that room rates didn’t increase during Carnival season, which is incredibly fair and refreshing. The only minor downside is the lack of nearby restaurants—there’s just one large supermarket within walking distance, so dining options require a short trip. Still, the excellent location, reliable transport links, and great value make this hotel a top recommendation for travelers who prioritize convenience and peace of mind.

Staying at Jo&Joe Rio de Janeiro Largo do Boticario was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Christ the Redeemer, making it perfect for sightseeing and enjoying the iconic views. The breakfast was exceptional, with a great variety of fresh local treats, including delicious jams and freshly squeezed juices. The staff went above and beyond—they even helped arrange tickets to a local match, which was incredibly thoughtful. The rooms are clean, modern, and well-designed, offering a comfortable retreat after a day exploring the city. Public transport access is excellent, with the metro just steps away. Everything about this place feels thoughtfully put together, and the overall experience was truly memorable. Highly recommended for travelers who value convenience, quality, and a touch of local charm.

Located in a safe and convenient area near Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, this apartment is just a short walk from the beach and perfectly positioned in the heart of Ipanema’s vibrant dining and nightlife scene. The unit is compact but impeccably clean and well-organized—every corner feels cared for. There’s no elevator, so it’s best suited for guests comfortable with stairs. That said, the layout is smart, and the kitchen comes equipped with a fridge, stovetop, microwave, and basic cookware—perfect for preparing simple meals. It’s ideal for travelers who value location, cleanliness, and a home-like feel without the hassle of a big hotel. A great choice for a comfortable, authentic Rio stay.

We stayed at Gallant Hotel with a group of five, and it was an excellent choice for our trip to Rio. While not located in the South Zone, the hotel's location is surprisingly convenient—just a short walk from the metro station and close to major tourist attractions. The area is quiet and peaceful, making it a great base for exploring the city. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. Breakfast was diverse, delicious, and generously served—perfect way to start the day. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed by the comfort, service, and value. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rio, and I’m already planning to stay here again on our next visit.

Staying at this place was an absolute nightmare. The property looked nothing like the photos—dirty, poorly maintained, and frankly, unsanitary. We arrived to find mold on the walls, grime on the doors and mattresses, and no toilet paper in the bathroom. The room we were given was tiny, windowless, and overcrowded for three people—so much so that we had to request a different one after being misled by the owner. When I tried calling the house multiple times with questions, no one answered, yet moments later someone opened a door just to let in a cat. I’d sent a message through the platform before arrival, but it went completely unanswered. My daughter was already unwell upon arrival (travel sickness), and though I helped clean up, we didn’t choose to be sick. The lack of communication, basic hygiene, and overall disregard for guest comfort was shocking. There were dogs barking nonstop throughout the night, and the entrance area looked like a trash heap. It ruined the end of our trip—my kids didn’t even want to change accommodations, but I was horrified just sleeping there. Despite the location’s potential and how welcoming most Brazilians are, this experience was far from what it should’ve been. I strongly advise against staying here and believe platforms need stricter oversight to prevent such substandard listings from being available.

The experience was really disappointing. The female-only dorm actually serves as staff accommodation, and guests were mixed with employees—there was a male guest staying in our 'female-only' room, which made us very uncomfortable. The room was extremely dirty, with candy wrappers and other trash scattered all over the floor. There was no laundry detergent, no hand sanitizer, and no masks available—basic hygiene items were completely missing. The location is also terrible; it's inconvenient for getting around. The bathroom in the female dorm was filthy and unattended—just a dirty, damp floor with no proper maintenance. To make matters worse, the window barely opens, so ventilation is almost nonexistent. It's hard to believe such basic standards aren't met.

This hotel absolutely delivers on its promise! The room was spotless, with fresh and fragrant linens that made for a very comfortable stay. Breakfast was outstanding—worth every penny. The location is fantastic; we walked to the Maracanã Stadium for a game and back without any hassle. Right outside the hotel is a great restaurant and bar, and getting an Uber was never an issue. The 24-hour front desk was incredibly helpful—we needed pharmacy assistance, and they promptly provided the contact info. Staff were polite, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. The only minor downside was the pillow—it could have been a bit higher and more supportive, but honestly, it didn’t detract from the overall experience. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Rio.

Unfortunately, my experience was quite negative due to the lack of signage and lighting in the backyard, making the area extremely unsafe for elderly guests and children. I didn’t stay overnight—I only booked a day-use option through the platform for my birthday celebration and that of a close friend. As shown in photo 20, there’s a gap beside the staircase leading down to the yard, which becomes completely invisible at night because there’s no lighting in the area. While descending the stairs, I tripped over the gap and hit my head on a stone, resulting in six stitches above my eyebrow. To clarify—no alcohol was consumed during this incident. This could have easily turned into a much more serious accident. I reported the issue to the couple managing the booking, but they showed no intention to address or fix the hazard. Aside from that, there’s nothing else to comment on since I didn’t actually stay overnight. My only warning to future guests: this property is not recommended for families with young children or older adults due to the significant safety risks.

Staying at Bella Ciao Hostel in Rio de Janeiro was one of the most memorable experiences I've had on my trip. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the metro and super close to everything worth seeing. The hostel offers incredible value for money, with clean, cozy rooms and a welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. The common lounge is perfect for working during the day or hanging out in the evening with board games, movies, and great conversations. The staff and regular guests are genuinely warm and friendly—they go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your time in the neighborhood and the city. Special shoutout to Saulo, the owner—he’s incredibly kind, always available, and truly cares about everyone’s well-being. It’s clear he runs this place with heart. I left feeling like I’d made new friends and discovered a hidden gem. Definitely coming back, and I’ll be bringing my travel buddies next time.

Absolutely loved my stay at Maraca Hostel! The accommodation was top-notch—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained throughout my visit. The vibe is super welcoming and lively, making it feel like home from the moment I arrived. Being just steps away from the world’s largest stadium and surrounded by great restaurants made every day enjoyable. Whether I wanted a quick bite or a night out, everything was within walking distance. The staff were friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile. It’s rare to find such a perfect mix of location, cleanliness, and atmosphere in a hostel. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Rio—it’s truly one of the best stays I’ve had!
